Bill Condon to direct The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
"Bringing Stephanie Meyer's Breaking Dawn to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity," said Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment.
Added author Stephanie Meyer, "I'm so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he's going to be a great fit, and I'm excited to see what he does with the material."
"I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book - and we're hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience," said Bill Condon.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

Regardless of who's responsible for the Twilight-f*cking, I'll probably skip the theater and settle for my couch and television. Then again, somebody is bound to drag me along.

It won't be rated R. To even hope that is stupid. You really think an R-rating would be allowed for a money-maker like this?
